    Looks like one of these. Quite a beast! Charcoal Retorts - Charcoal Kiln - BBQ Charcoal Suppliers in UK

    Riko fit them to their processors so they might be able to help.

    Same here. The bank occasionally get get sniffy about me using a personal account for business and ask me to come in and then try to pursued me to open a business one that's free for a year or so but the costs there after look a lot less friendly. I just point out if I have to open a business account I will shop around and don't here from them again for a few more years

    Great job Love the way you have matched up the natural shape of the boards instead of planning straight edges on them. Must have taken some time.

    What's the riding like on Exmoor?

    Tried road biking for a few years but hated the lousy brakes having come from hydraulic discs on the MTB. See that discs are becoming commonplace on road bikes now so might try again. Averaging 16.8 mph is pretty good going if memory serves me right

    Sycamore?

    You should be topping it up regally as it uses the hydraulic oil for the chain lube. If it's not using oil make sure it's oiling the chain properly. The pump is actuated by the action of the movement of the bar so just remove the bar with the machine off and pull the lever to see if oil appears. ISO 32 is what you need but cant say I shop around just buy what our agricultural supplies sell.

    So if they are selling by the m3 it's of solid wood not what fits on the wagon. Never knew this.
  10. Woodworks
    So if they are asking 40 a cube I would be paying around a £60 per tonne?
  11. Woodworks
    Presuming that is for solid wood but how much do I allow for air gaps with clean roundwood stack?

    Thanks but I might question that table. Pine weighing 1.98 tonnes Thought fresh beech was about as heavy as you can get with native species.
  13. Woodworks
    I know it's been discussed before but cant find a clear answer. Been offered some nice beech thinnings but they are being sold by per m3 and I have only bought by the tonne before. All freshly cut but very tidy. What is the likely ratio?

    Must be a sideboard Good work Steve

    Don't often get asked to do tree work but this was an add on to some processing. Had three windblown laylandii to get down and process. Not dealt with windblown before so got Maxnaggle off here to give me hand. Tried out the new winch which made short work of these. Pictures are dissipative as they look like sticks on here but the three stems made 4 truck loads of logs. Can thoroughly recommend Max as he works like a trooper.

    Thanks Chris. Looks good with nice neat plantation growth but wouldn't work on our hedgrow branch material.

    Spent yesterday cutting supposedly a load of ash but poor chap had been sold 3/4 alder and 1/4 ash. Dead easy for me though as alder cuts like butter. Did about 15 tonnes and would have cleared the whole 18 tonne load if we had not had a small hitch with the processor which cost a bit of time. Edit. Realised my last visit there is my profile picture. Looks like we beat that day

    Have seen the Rojek but not in the flesh. Didn't realise it had a delimbing knife. Too much small twiggy material was the reason I gave up on ours so sounds like a good idea.
  19. Woodworks
    Wow that is cheap. Could be OK as there is not much to these machines beyond the gearing and cutters which do need to be tough. My favourite was posted somewhere on Arbtalk which was Polish and came with a small conveyor for less than a TR 70

    So are you looking to do finger joints? Only ask as for boxes I would go for a Woodrat. A truly brilliant machine once you get your head around it. Perfect for dovetails and finger joints.

    What are looking to do with it Ian? I had one of these but other than the cast table didn't really rate it but then I am spoilt having a spindle moulder that can take router cutters. RPMS-R-MK2 Heavy Cast Router Table with Sliding Table Not difficult to build your own and just buy an insert for fitting the router on to. All the spring and hold down look nice on fancy tables but a MDF feather board takes mins to make and work great. You see tables made to do loads of different jobs but all I can say is in a reasonably well equipped workshop all mine gets used for is some mouldings with either bearing cutters or a straight fence.

    As Steve said I can't see the point if the wood is still wet as it's going to warp plus most glues don't bond so well to wet wood. If you do want to use glue I would recommend a PU glue as these cope much better with moisture present in the wood as water is the catalyst to make them set. I would bolt it up without glue now leave it to dry then if you feel like it needs it take it apart, square up the faces and then glue back together.

    Nothing like the standard of the above pictures but finally did a bit of laying on the farm today. Not pretty but probably stock proof which is my main aim.
  24. Woodworks
    Looks very good James. Like your home made crates that you deliver in as well. As said you could do with some guide on volumes.
  25. Woodworks
    Sounds good. I used M10 but it's not as heavy a bench as yours and used regular bar not stainless which has weaker threads. To keep it neat I would cut large holes on the edge so the nuts can be recessed, allow for socket size if doing this. Good luck
